Trio JDM - Fast Corners (2023)

On its accomplished debut album "Fast Corners", Trio JDM draws inspiration from the legacy of Jimmy Smith and Larry Young, as extended today by acts like Goldings/Bernstein/Stewart. Indeed, a fine version of Peter Bernstein's "Little Green Men" features here, alongside four original tunes each from Messrs. Longhawn and Taylor, and a joyous reading of Charlie Parker's "Ah-Leu-Cha". In short, expect a compelling and varied set of contemporary mainstream jazz, with dashes of fusion and funk for good measure.
